Bhad Bhabie, the 21-year-old rapper and internet sensation, has stirred controversy after revealing her recent nose job while undergoing cancer treatment. On January 21, 2025, she shared photos of her "swollen" nose and bruising on Instagram Stories, documenting her recovery at "day 6" post-surgery. "Nose jobs are not for the weak!!" she captioned one image.
The announcement sparked a wave of reactions online after The Shade Room posted her photos and videos, with many questioning the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery during cancer treatment. Responding to critics, Bhad Bhabie addressed the backlash directly on social media, stating, "I don’t know who told y’all you can’t get surgery when you have cancer. I was cleared by my DR… [So] mind the business… It doesn’t matter if you liked my nose before… I didn’t like it so I fixed it."
This isn’t the first time Bhad Bhabie has addressed her health publicly. She first disclosed her cancer diagnosis in November 2024, sharing a health update at LAX, saying she was "OK" but not ready to discuss the specifics. Despite fans' concerns, she assured them the surgery was safe and medically approved.
Many netizens expressed surprise, with some labeling her decision "crazy" and questioning the type of cancer she is battling. Addressing these speculations, she posted, "Y’all mfs so worried about me and y’all don’t even know what kind of cancer I have! It’s not breast cancer…." She continued, "Lying about plastic surgery is a problem and clearly so is telling the truth about having it. I choose to b[sic] open with y’all about what I have done and mfs [sic] still make s**t a problem."
The rapper also clarified her reasons for the surgery, revealing, "I just wanted to remove the hump."
News of her illness initially surfaced in November after fans speculated about her rapid weight loss from images and videos showing her visibly exhausted. A family member later confirmed that she was receiving medical treatment, though Bhad Bhabie has remained private about her diagnosis.
While her recent choices have drawn mixed reactions, Bhad Bhabie remains unapologetic and firm in her decisions, navigating both public scrutiny and her ongoing health journey with transparency.
